Mr. Yao was exhausted at this time. He was woken up in the middle of the night and then interrogated repeatedly after being brought here. Although he remained silent about everything, the chair and handcuffs he was sitting in were very awkwardly designed, making it impossible for him to sleep.

He's already over 60 and can't keep up anymore.

Ma Zhichao: "We've interrogated everyone who needed to be interrogated. I just want to ask one question: Where did you get the HK$130 million you have?"

Mr. Yao: "As I said, I exchanged it from the bank."

Ma Zhichao: "Time, place, person in charge... It's impossible for a business deal as large as HK$1.3 million to be missing any of these, right?"

Mr. Yao remained silent.

Ma Zhichao: "These are all easy to check; you can't lie to anyone."

Mr. Yao remained silent, unwilling to speak.

Ma Zhichao turned around and waved at the camera in the corner of the interrogation room.

The red light is off, and the camera is switched off.

Ma Zhichao: "Okay, I've turned off the camera. Now we can have a proper talk."

"Even if you don't talk about it, the counterfeit US dollar case alone is enough to put you in jail. Don't think that the people behind you can protect you. They already know that the Hong Kong dollars are in my hands, and they would love to kill you to silence you."

Mr. Yao remained unmoved.

Ma Zhichao: "It seems you feel you're old, have enjoyed yourself enough, and it doesn't matter if you die..."

"No rush, let us see your son and daughter..."

Mr. Yao's expression finally changed.

Ma Zhichao slowly pulled out a piece of paper from the documents he was carrying.

"You have a son and a daughter, both of whom are living abroad..."

"Yes, his son is in Victoria. Wow, he graduated from Cambridge University, a top student, married a Frenchwoman, and they have two kids..."

"Your daughter is married in the United States, to an Asian billionaire?"

Mr. Yao was finally furious!

"Ma Zhichao, don't forget you're a policeman!"

"Yes, the police are there to punish crime... Don't tell me your son and daughter haven't benefited from your counterfeiting and money laundering, have they?"

"Since we used your money, don't claim innocence!"

"I, Ma Zhichao, enjoy sending sinners to meet God!"

Ma Zhichao grinned, but in Mr. Yao's eyes, it appeared cold and biting!

Mr. Yao had heard of Ma Zhichao's unscrupulous methods before, but this was the first time he had truly experienced such ruthlessness!

Mr. Yao smiled bitterly: "Officer Ma, please don't make things difficult for me. You won't let my children off the hook, but they won't let me off the hook either."

Ma Zhichao: "Who are they?"

Mr. Yao: "I can't say."

Ma Zhichao chuckled lightly: "Alright, then you can stay in the coffin and talk."

Got up and left.

……

……

A new day,

Early this morning, all the newspapers in Hong Kong featured the news of Ma Zhichao's bust of a counterfeit money factory on their front pages.

"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale!"

"Big news!"

"Officer Ma cracks a major case – a counterfeit money ring!"

The newsstand quickly attracted many citizens who bought newspapers as the owner called out his calls.

At noon, ATV News broadcast an interview with Ma Zhichao, the police officer.

"This counterfeit money ring is a terrible thing..."

"Interpol has been searching for years, but still hasn't found it, blah blah blah..."

“Hong Kong Island alone receives tens of millions of US dollars in counterfeit currency every year, causing great harm to the general public and businesses…”

“I started investigating such a dangerous criminal group five months ago…”

"The investigation was difficult, but as a police officer, I cannot betray the trust of any citizen..."

"Through my persistent efforts and those of my men, we finally found clues about the counterfeit money ring..."

"As I said before, because I've been rained on, I want to hold an umbrella for all citizens!"

During the interview, Ma Zhichao sat upright, exuding righteousness, hating evil as if it were his enemy, and spoke eloquently.

However, the citizens were unaware of the situation and were deeply moved after hearing Ma Zhichao's interview.

"I've received US dollars many times before. They looked fine, but when I got to the bank they said they were counterfeit. It made me so angry."

"Yes, you work hard all day, only to have it all go to waste because you received a counterfeit bill."

"I'm so touched! Officer Ma is the best, always thinking of us!"

As for the police department...

When Cai Yuanqi saw Ma Zhichao's interview, he almost coughed up blood!

That sounds so righteous and awe-inspiring! If I didn't know the truth, I almost would have believed it!

Knock knock knock~~~

Just then, the secretary knocked on the door and brought someone in.

Martino, the director of the New Territories North Department, stormed in, furious!

"Director, you must seek justice for me!"

"That Ma Zhichao actually sent people to my New Territories North to arrest people without even notifying me! Does he have no manners at all?"

Cai Yuanqi reassured him, "Don't rush, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Martino said angrily, "Didn't Ma Zhichao arrest Tan Cheng, one of the leaders of that counterfeit money gang, yesterday? Tan Cheng was arrested in my New Territories North area."

"This is definitely a case handled across districts!"

"What qualifications does Ma Zhichao have to handle cases outside his jurisdiction!"

Martino shouted, "Chief, you must give me justice! Now that he can handle cases outside his jurisdiction, won't he be able to suppress the police force in the future? Is there no discipline left in the police force?"

Cai Yuanqi saw through Martino's little scheme at a glance; his anger was feigned, and his real intention was to steal the credit.

Cai Yuanqi reassured him, "Don't worry, I'll call Ma Zhichao over, and you can scold him."

Martino nodded: "Okay!"

after an hour,

Ma Zhichao slowly arrived at the police station and went straight to Director Cai's office.

Ma Zhichao was overly familiar and showed no respect whatsoever: "Director, did you need something?"

Cai Yuanqi pointed at Martino: "Chief Martino said you were handling a case outside your jurisdiction last night. You two can talk."

Ma Zhichao turned to Martino and smiled, "Director Martino, I'm very sorry about yesterday. The matter was urgent, and I was afraid that Tan Cheng would run away, so I had to handle it as a special case."

Martino saw Ma Zhichao's arrogant attitude towards Cai Yuanqi, and Cai Yuanqi seemed unwilling to get involved. He also recalled Ma Zhichao's first time at a large meeting where he berated the head of the Criminal Intelligence Section to resign, and the second time he threw a chair and smashed the Political Department building...

Looking at Ma Zhichao's smiling face, he felt a sense of treachery.

And Ma Zhichao's clenched fists looked like he was about to punch someone at any moment.

My spirits immediately sank a third.

Martino, in a forceful tone, said in a conciliatory tone, "Officer Martino, we're all colleagues. Discipline is discipline. You absolutely cannot conduct investigations outside your jurisdiction! I'll let it slide this time, but don't do it again, understand?!"

Cai Yuanqi: "………………"

That's it?

That's it?

Damn it, it wouldn't be of any use to you!

I was hoping to see you argue with Ma Zhichao and give him a hard time, but all you said was, "I'm not going to bother with you!"

At this moment, Ma Zhichao found the weak Director Martino quite agreeable.

He put his arm around Martino's shoulder and said, "Director Martino is right. I'll definitely let you know next time. Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?"

He had no contact with the New Territories North, while the Umbrella Corporation continued to expand in parts of West Kowloon and East Kowloon.

This is a good opportunity to make friends with Director Martino and expand the Umbrella Corporation there.

Martino sensed Ma Zhichao's hint and immediately smiled: "Great! I happen to be free tonight. I've always wanted to chat with Officer Ma, but I've been too busy before. I can't miss this opportunity."

Ma Zhichao enthusiastically said, "I've also wanted to get to know Director Martino for a long time..."

The two wicked men chatted and laughed as if they were nothing!

Cai Yuanqi: "………………"

I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it, I want you guys to have a conflict so I can see if I can take the opportunity to teach Ma Zhichao a lesson!

What happened? You guys are now calling each other brothers?

Cai Yuanqi always felt that he had become the pimp.

at this time,

"Ring ring ring~~~~~"

Ma Zhichao's phone rang.

Liang Xiaorou: "Boss, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority is here. They want to take away that batch of counterfeit money and Mr. Yao!"
